Hello...
I just work with project using two boards and that became nightmare.
The problem is that 1'st board is wemos D1 and other board is controllino plc. (leonardo extended)
Both of them need different "additional Boards manager URLs".
So every time I open IDE with other board I need to edit "additional boards" and select right board.
I found "manicken pref saver" that should be for this task but seems that can't update "additional boards fileds"
Any help how to solve that?
My solution: Opening 2 Arduino IDE's, one for each controller. Very simple.
It is important to open 2 different instances of the IDE rather than opening one then doing File/New
it would be nice if some IDE configuration information could be located in the directory with the code.
i have this problem when i switch between Arduino Uno and esp32. when i switch to the esp32, not only do i need to change the board type and com port, i need to reset the partition.
Just realized that there can be more than one additional board manager URLs. And this with "Manicken pref saver" work as expected.
I'm glad to hear you found the solution eslavko!
In order to help others who might have the same question and find this, I'll add that you can add as many URLs as you need to the Arduino IDE's File > Preferences > Additional Boards Manager URLs field. Just separate them with commas. Or you can click the icon on the right side of the field, which will open a dialog where you can add each URL on its own line instead of messing with the commas.
Indeed that's I find as solution.
I've just started with ESP8266. I decided to do a portable install for the ESP stuff to keep it seperate from my normal AVR work. Eventually I will end up with two portable installs, one for AVR and one for ESP.
I have a separate Arduino15 dir for each set of different boards (but have ESP8266 and ESP32 in one).
Close IDE, Delete Arduino15. open IDE, load board, rename Arduino15 to Arduino15_boardname for later reuse.
Then to use, close the IDE and rename the appropriate saved directory to Arduino15 and open IDE again
I also keep multiple libraries dirs renamed to keep the library versions constant for my various boards/projects
